It'll be fun to have Flood gamenights that won't crash every five minutes. We can play some fun games like Jenga and duck hun-

Oh wait. Forge isn't being released until December. Well, I'm sure the game can survive on just Matchmaking if it ends up being another Halo 4.

everyone just get halo online then

Shitty P2W mechanics and unbalanced maps.

Just leave this guy alone

All he'll do is say Halo is shit

Now correct me if I'm wrong. But why do you need Forge for custom games? Surely you can play customs on the 21 maps at launch.

Without Forge,  you have no custom maps for Mini games and such that populated every FPS Halo game since 3. You can only play slayer or objective gametypes on preinstalled maps, which would not differ much if at all from Matchmaking. Customs without Forge is pointless.

I'd rather wait a month and have it work than have it launch buggy and broken ala Halo 4.

Of course if it did launch broken, those complaining now would complain it should have been delayed.

I'd rather have the game delayed until it launches. 343 is taking a big risk here. Customs are what keep the game alive after launch, especially if the multiplayer isn't up to par. Look at Reach. Objectively one of the most hated Halo games, yet it still maintains 15k-20k players daily because of it's rockin' Forge and custom game options.

343i are just assuming the majority of players will like Halo 5. What if we don't? What if the game wasn't as fun as the beta, and the Halo community drops it. Now the only feature that would keep the community around isn't coming out until 2 months after launch.

And that's not even considering you might get bored of Halo 5. The multiplayer is fun, yeah. But is it really fun as the only thing to do for 2 months?

take a cold shower and get rid of that boner you've got for forge. it'll release a month or so after release it's not a big deal

the modded version, not the shitty russian version.

You're assuming that them delaying it guarantees it will be fully functional, and that they don't cut corners and content to get it working decently.  They have handled it poorly in the past, and it could be a sign that they're trying to make up for it, but it could also just be that they're generally poor at handling it.

Jesus fuck, I can't fathom having to create custom modes using nothing but the game type edit menu. What the hell did we ever do in CE and 2 for custom games before 3 came along?

I can't possibly have fun in custom games without forge for a whole month.

Zombies/etc. with honor rules along with Cops and Robbers, which typically only works on a single map.

Think about it as a throwback Halo CE/2 experience.

PC Release with Source Code and Modding tool/support or bust tbh
